Inscription: This Cemetery, earlier known as Morningside Cemetery, is the oldest non-sectarian cemetery in San Fernando Valley. It was used from the early 1800's until 1939. It was legally abandoned in 1959. In this same year Mrs. Nellis S. Noble donated the site in memory of the pioneers of San Fernando as a Pioneer Memorial Park.
I loved the history of it all especially the civil war veterans who are buried there. The memorial day celebration was very special.
Very interesting location, must have driven past it 100 times. We ended up visiting because of its historical designation: California Historical Landmark #753.
